Resend UI Skills
Opinionated constraints for building Resend-style interfaces with AI agents.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- •Building dark-mode interfaces
- •Creating Resend-inspired design systems
- •Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid
Colors
- •MUST use dark backgrounds (lightness < 20) for primary surfaces - detected lightness: 2
- •MUST use
#060606as page background (surface-base) - •SHOULD limit color palette to 5 distinct colors
- •MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility
Semantic Tokens
| Token | HEX | RGB | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
surface-base | #060606 | rgb(6,6,6) | Page background |
surface-raised | #1D1D1D | rgb(29,29,29) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
text-primary | #6E6E6E | rgb(110,110,110) | Headings, body text |
text-2 | #BBBBBB | rgb(187,187,187) | Additional text |
border-default | #191919 | rgb(25,25,25) | Subtle borders, dividers |
Typography
- •MUST use
Interas primary font family - •SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- •MUST use
88px/700for primary headings - •MUST use
18px/400for body text - •MUST limit font weights to: bold, regular, medium
- •MUST use
text-balancefor headings andtext-prettyfor body text - •SHOULD use
tabular-numsfor numeric data - •NEVER modify letter-spacing unless explicitly requested
Text Styles
| Style | Font | Size | Weight | Color | Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
heading-1 | Inter | 88px | 700 | #C8C8C8 | 1 |
body | Inter | 18px | 400 | #646464 | 1 |
body-secondary | Inter | 17px | 500 | #BFBFBF | 1 |
text-15px | Inter | 15px | 400 | #6A6A6A | 1 |
text-14px | Inter | 14px | 400 | #666666 | 1 |
text-14px | Inter | 14px | 400 | #626262 | 1 |
text-14px | Inter | 14px | 400 | #646464 | 1 |
caption | Inter | 13px | 400 | #6E6E6E | 1 |
label | Inter | 12px | 500 | #BBBBBB | 1 |
label | Inter | 11px | 400 | #B6B6B5 | 1 |
Typography Reference
Font Families:
- •
Inter(used 13x)
Font Sizes: 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 17px, 18px, 88px
Spacing
- •MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- •SHOULD use spacing from scale: 4px, 5px, 13px, 19px, 22px, 60px
- •SHOULD use 5px as default gap between elements
- •NEVER use arbitrary spacing values (use design scale)
- •SHOULD maintain consistent padding within containers
Borders
- •MUST use border-radius from scale: 15px
- •SHOULD limit border widths to: 2px, 3px
- •SHOULD use 15px as default border-radius
- •NEVER use arbitrary border-radius values (use design scale)
- •SHOULD use subtle borders (1px) for element separation
Border Radius Reference
Scale: 15px
Layout
- •MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
- •SHOULD use consistent element widths: 8px
- •SHOULD maintain text-heavy layout with clear hierarchy
- •NEVER use
h-screen, useh-dvhfor full viewport height - •MUST respect
safe-area-insetfor fixed elements - •SHOULD use
size-*for square elements instead ofw-*+h-*
Detected Layout Patterns
- •Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 963px
- •Header: height: 57px
Components
Buttons
| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | transparent | #BBBBBB | none | - | - |
Interactive States
Focus
- •MUST use
2pxoutline with accent color (#5E6AD2) - •MUST use
2pxoutline-offset - •NEVER remove focus indicators
Hover
- •Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
- •Buttons (secondary): use
#1D1D1Dbackground - •List items: use
#1D1D1Dbackground
Disabled
- •MUST use
opacity: 0.5 - •MUST use
cursor: not-allowed
Interaction
- •MUST use an
AlertDialogfor destructive or irreversible actions - •SHOULD use structural skeletons for loading states
- •MUST show errors next to where the action happens
- •NEVER block paste in
inputortextareaelements - •MUST add an
aria-labelto icon-only buttons
Animation
- •NEVER add animation unless it is explicitly requested
- •MUST animate only compositor props (
transform,opacity) - •NEVER animate layout properties (
width,height,top,left,margin,padding) - •SHOULD use
ease-outon entrance animations - •NEVER exceed
200msfor interaction feedback - •SHOULD respect
prefers-reduced-motion
Performance
- •NEVER animate large
blur()orbackdrop-filtersurfaces - •NEVER apply
will-changeoutside an active animation - •NEVER use
useEffectfor anything that can be expressed as render logic
